Yesterday Piranha Bytes and THQ Nordic released a new patch (version 1.0.107) for Elex 2 on Steam that fixes some bugs. There is also an optional beta patch that gives Elex 2 DirectX 12 as the graphics API. This version requires another 27.4GB download and takes a longer time to load on first launch (presumably to compile shaders).
Players report significantly improved performance in processor-critical areas like camps. At one point in the crater, our CPU performance increased from 30 to 80 frames per second! However, there are also reports of reduced visibility and non-working anti-aliasing. For the full changes of the update and how to enable the DirectX 12 beta, please click "Read more"!
Thank you all for your feedback regarding performance issues for Elex 2! Today we are introducing the "Public Test Branch" for "Elex 2".
You can join the Public Test Branch by simply activating the branch "ElexIIDX12" on the "Betas" tab in the Properties of the ELEX II app in the Steam client.
IMPORTANT NOTICE -
First boot up of the DX12 version can take quite some time, do let it load
